My particular role requires Channels experience and technical chops. This is a pretty rare breed.

Thanks for taking time to share your experience here at Illumio, and for the time you took to share insights across those dimensions. Many of our candidates share that they look to Glassdoor to get insights into life at Illumio, and your feedback aligns with what we've heard from both long-tenured colleagues and folks who've just recently joined us at the company. We have the privilege to be in a very special company at a very special time in our industry, where our customers need and value what we do now more than ever. Please continue to keep the feedback coming - both affirmative and constructive! To that latter point, we are taking your feedback - and that of others - to heart as we redesign our onboarding program to match the speed and scale of our growth. More to come on that front, and please reach out to the People team and me with ideas you have about ways we can drive additional value into the program! Thanks, David Chief People Officer

Pros

Transparent, open culture – Illumio emphasizes honesty and direct communication, even on tough topics Recognition-driven environment – wins are celebrated across teams and employees are recognized by peers and leadership Collaborative + partnership mindset – teams operate with accountability and strong cross-functional alignment Inclusive and diverse workplace – strong emphasis on belonging, varied backgrounds, and different perspectives

Cons

High standards, accountability, and pressure to perform Not necessarily negative—but can feel intense depending on the team/role. Change happens often if you don't like change you will not like it here. I love change and I love that we are always trying to improve or be better. 401(k) plan without company matching- this is normal for our stage and employee count but candidates mention this alot. I wanted to flag it. They do give us a retirement savings account and mine is doing well but no match.
